  • To Julio and Frank, And I thought I was an "old" hand in the Communications business (well at least compared to today's young ones) having been the COMMO on board USS CIMARRON (AO 177) back in 1984. My hat's off to you, CWO Ereneta. It was your generation and my Dad's (he joined the USN in the Philippines back in 1945) that made it possible for the rest of us (I retired from the Navy August 2003) to accomplish what we are accomplishing now. Thanks and BZ!!! Bob Morales, San Diego CA. (rcmorales@yahoo.com)

  • Frank, Thank you for notifying me of Jay's passing a few months back. Meeting Jay and you at the Veteran Communicators Reunion in San Diego was a highlight for me. Good luck on documenting your father's legacy. I am waiting for the book! Vern Eubanks LT USN Ret (LDO-Elex) Eubanksfam@earthlink.net
